by Keiko Matsui —
This two-disc album highlights Matsui, one of today’s finest contemporary jazz keyboardists and composers, backed by leading bass, percussion and sax players.
Known for her unique ability to blend Eastern mysticism with playful melodies, her easy funk piano has made her a favorite.
This music showcases her sophisticated signature jazz style, from classically inspired themes, to the bold and brassy, alongside jazz improvisations and sweeping harmonies.
If you like jazz, you will really enjoy this music.
